Because the bulk feeding system uses a compact packaging
form, the storage space for electronic components can be reduced.
With taping packaging, electronic components remain lined up.
Therefore, the volume of taping-packaged components ends up being 70 to
170 times greater than the volume of the components themselves. On the
other hand, with bulk case packaging, electronic components can be
packaged in bulk in the case. Therefore, the volume of space required
for storage is only 5.4 to 9 times larger than that taken up by the
components themselves. |
